Gosh, I haven't updated in forever it seems. Sorry about that, I've just been really sick lately (it's this weird Arkansas weather…don't think of me weirdly because I'm from Arkansas okay, it can't be helped). Well enjoy, I kind of wanted to involve Yugi a little more and this chapter (and several more after) does just that.
I don't own Yu Gi Oh! I really don't own anything…I'm from Arkansas need I say more?
Please read and review, your comments will be much appreciated (because even if they are flames it still means you took the time to read it).
"Richie you shouldn't make him so upset," Cirquet told him after watching him try to tick off Yugi.
"Huh? Moi, tick someone off? Why ever would I do that dear sister?" he teased while ruffling her hair.
"Because you like it, and when you mess with someone that's your way of showing affection."
"So true, but I have another person in mind, not that I don't think that little Yugi is a cutie, but he's much too young."
"You're such a pervert."
"Pervert! Hmph, I resent that, Lan is much more a pervert than I," he pouted, "But enough about me, you seem much better now."
"Yeah I feel better, but Richie, I…I can't find my friends," Cirquet sighed.
"Well…It seems odd that they would leave, but you know they might show up again. I mean come on they've always been with you it's about time they took a vacation from your grumpy ass," he joked.
"I'm not grumpy you pervert!" Cirquet yelled out as knocked him on the head, "I'm telling father you cursed!"
"Like you don't!" he yelled out in mock anger.
Cirquet walked a way not really having any place to go just a need to go somewhere. The duelists were in the dining room getting ready for supper, she should probably go just for hospitality sakes but she just didn't see the need. Her house was large enough for anyone to get lost in and creepy enough for a horror movie. Shadows crawled over the wall, the wood floors groaned inhuman screams, and there was always some strange echo reverberating throughout the halls. After a week of being in bed Cirquet needed a walk to stretch her legs but a walk inside was not what she planned on. She walked on down one of the least used halls; it was the very hall that her great ancestor-Asbury Circe had walked down before. It was the only original part that remained from an old castle that was once built on this land, and it was creepy. Her father used to tell her of the ghost that wondered throughout the hall.
"Hey."
Cirquet screamed she nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the voice.
"Uh…who…uh…Yugi…Yugi right?" she asked, her voice was shaking with freight.
"Yeah, I saw someone down here and well you know curiosity," he said meekly.
"Oh, yeah…huh, this place is pretty creepy."
"Yeah, where is this place?" he asked while looking around at hall.
"Oh, this is the west hall of our home, it's basically unused, except at Halloween, then we let the little kids in here. Other than that it stays unused."
"Wow. I can see why you use it for Halloween."
As Yugi finished a huge clap of thunder shook the house. The lights flickered on and off for a minute or so before going out completely.
"Great and I bet they have the generators in repair right now," Cirquet sighed, this always happened. Her parents would forget to have the generators fixed until the last minute before the big storms hit.
"It's dark," Yugi stated.
"Yeah…there should be a light somewhere in a drawer around here. We normally keep at least two or three around, you know for Halloween or other…events."
"Right."
Cirquet felt around for one of the drawers that were sporadically placed down the hall.
"Got it!" she said while turning it own, "Voila, I see you."
"Great so should we go with the others now?"
"Yeah!"
The two turned to leave, but as Cirquet moved her light ahead of her the two saw a black wall.
"What, that wasn't there before!" Yugi stated. He looked at Cirquet for an answer only to see that she seemed to be gripped with terror. Cirquet moved her hand across the black barrier, it was real.
"Yugi, you ever been to the shadow realm?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"Yeah, why?"
"Because this place is a lot worse," she whispered to him, "on my count we take off the other way 'kay?"
"I shouldn't ask why, should I?"
"No, now run!"
The two split down the hall followed by strange a strange shadow. The echoes that were common in the hall were now being blocked out by a strange gargling noise. Cirquet knew what this was and she wasn't about to let it get Yugi. She thought that by coming home that the thing wouldn't follow her but she was wrong. 'A duelist must be helping it out,' she thought.
"Yugi, have…have you…uh…have you seen anything…hu…unusual lately?" she asked her breath giving out on her.
"…hu…What do…mean?"
"I…mean….hu hu, have you seen…a person perhaps?"
"….Yeah…uh…just a few days…hu before the tournament," he answered, while remembering the strange warning he was given the night he heard the scream.
"I…think….that hu…this thing…is after the two…of us."
"…Why…now?"
"I…think…that it might…have something to…hu…to do with…with something that…happened in the past…something we did…or something…I don't know…"
Cirquet stopped, she knew she was nearing the end of hall but she got the feeling it would be going on forever. She looked around and saw a door with a line of light under coming from it.
"In there Yugi," she pointed out.
The two through open the door only to find themselves in one very strange room that Cirquet didn't recognize.
"What is this?" she asked out loud.
The room was extravagant but nothing like Cirquet had ever seen. Yugi immediately recognized it as the thrown room to pharaohs of Egypt.
"You wouldn't know anything about Egypt, would you Cirquet?" Yugi asked.
"No, not really."
"She really doesn't know anything Great Pharaoh," a strange voice called out.
Cirquet and Yugi immediately recognized the voice.
"You recognize that voice Yugi?"
"Yeah, I think it was the one that warned us."
The voice laughed at the two as a strange shadow shifted to the thrown. It seemed to materialize into a solid object, a woman.
"Hmm…such a little fool, did you really think you would escape little dragon?" she smiled a viciously.
"Saburo Cirquet," Cirquet sneered.
I honestly don't know when I'll get the chance to write again (hopefully soon) but with AP exams (this Friday) it probably won't be anytime soon.
